    Always a feel good experience dining at Terrain Westport! And food has always been a winning choice. This time we had pork tenderloin which was excellent. The chicken pot pie was so yummy just missing a solid portion of chicken. Looked so pretty and tasted great though, for sure. Service is always with a smile and helpful. Non alcoholic drinks were creative and tasty too!

    Went for the prix fixe menu for our Valentine’s dinner. It was on the pricier side ($200+ pp including alc), but every aspect of the dinner was spectacular. Unexpectedly met with rose pedals on the table and a (optional) raspberry cocktail. All of their cocktails looked incredible on other tables, but we split a very nice Cab. All the courses were amazing, moderate amounts, but after four courses we were filled up. Wagyu tenderloin and carrot cake were 12/10. Will definitely be going back for a dinner with the regular menu in the near future. If you don’t mind the cost, then the Valentine’s dinner is a special date night experience.
